Oh, the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees

The soda water fountain

Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings

In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

On a summer's day in the month of May

A burly bum came a hiking

Down a shady lane through the sugar cane

He was looking for his liking

As he strolled along he sang a song of the land of milk and honey

Where a bum can stay for many a day

And he won't need any money

Oh, the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees

The soda water fountain

Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings

In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain

The cops have wooden legs

The bulldogs all have rubber teeth

And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs

The farmers' trees are full of fruit

The barns are full of hay

I want to go where there ain't no snow

Where the sleet don't fall and the wind don't blow

In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

Oh, the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees

The soda water fountain

Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings

In that Big Rock Candy Mountain

Oh, the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees

The soda water fountain

Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings

In that Big Rock Candy Mou
